this is what I do.

last night's sunset was as orgasmic as always. I love how people appreciate this place. even in the foulest weather, at all times of year, people are out- taking pictures, admiring the scenery, reveling. this is a uniquely Alaskan phenomenon, I feel- at least with such consistency. 

but the rodent-dog and I had this part of the beach to ourselves. 

it was kinda nice. 

he peed on everything until he postured emptily! 

the fireweed is pretty much done for the season. this is one of the last places I've seen with any flowers left. 

the bliss of icterus. 

and then, near Earthquake Park, a bull moose crossed the road right in front of my car! and my goddamn phone ran out of photo space! this is the only picture I could take. I was frantically trying to delete something, anything, to make more room on my camera, but he trotted off. at his closest he was about eight feet away. his rack was velvety and he had red boils on the backs of his knees. twilight is snacktime. I almost always see moose at this spot. 

today was dank and rainy and required greenhouse therapy. the woman at the nursery, unprovoked, gleefully educated me about bromeliads. for example! they "almost thrive on neglect", are excellent air purifiers, and only bloom once in their lifetime! 

and a sexy succulent. 

or a succulent succulent, if you wish. 

entropy-pants. 

and an outtake from "ColeyBear 2013." 

and here is a very abstract image of the inside of my refrigerator. I made fried rice tonight. it was fucking delicious. 

and this adequately summarizes the past 24 hours.
